I think the lineup for the USA will be... ----------------Altidore-------------------- --F.Johnson---Dempsey-----Donovan ---------Jones---------Bradley----------- --Castillo---Besler---Gonzalez----Cherundolo (or Chandler if Dolo isn't healthy) ----------------Howard-------------------
Iran will look very close to this: F: -------------------Ghoochannejhad--------------------- M: ---Shojaei----------Karimi-------------Dejagah-------- M:--------------Nekounam----Teymourian--------------- D:--Hajsafi------Hosseini----Beikzadeh---Heydari------- GK:-------------------Ahmadi------------------------------ Our midfield and offense is solid and can compete with almost anyone else in the WC, our defense/GK is less certain to be up to standards. We did have the strongest defense in the entire AFC qualifiers but that doesn't mean much so we'll see. Best players: Dejagah, Karimi, Ghoochannejhad, and Nekounam
